I kinda suspect American voters are likely dumber than average in democracies because our system is so complicated and nonsensical

like table stakes to be able to even understand what is going on is being aware of the Senate filibuster, a thing that is so deranged that it wouldn't even occur to someone to design it on purpose and is nowhere in the Constitution

yes the Electoral College is even dumber still. like it's possible to lose the popular vote 4-1 and still win the presidency. complete madness lol bsky.app/profile/hell...

the electoral college also means that for people in most states it doesn't really matter how they vote

I've voted in a swing state once in my life for a Presidential election and I'm not sure I've voted in a swing congressional district *ever*
